About: As a new pet sitter on Rover, what sets me apart from others is the genuine love and lifelong connection I have with animals. Growing up in the Philippines, I had the privilege of taking care of three dogs and two cats from a young age, instilling in me a deep appreciation for the unique needs and personalities of each pet. Additionally, my two years of experience nurturing my own cat, Tippy here in the US, has honed my skills in understanding and catering to pets' emotional and physical well-being. I was able to teach him some tricks too like sit, stand, stay, and go before he dug to his food, jump, and down. I am committed to providing a loving and nurturing environment for pets in my care, ensuring they feel secure and cherished while their owners are away. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, and I am committed to providing the best care for your furry companions like they are my own. Currently, I am taking online classes which allows me to dedicate my time and attention to your pets daily. With this schedule, I can offer three visits per day to ensure that your pets receive the care, love, and attention they need. Whether it's feeding, playtime, walks, or just some quality companionship, I am here to make sure your pets are happy and well-cared for throughout the day. In my home, my pet enjoys a safe, cozy environment with all the essentials, including free spaces to walk around, food, water, and toys. I stick to his routines, offering regular meals, clean water, exercise, and a pet-friendly atmosphere. When caring for pets in a future client's own home, I prioritize routine consistency and safety. I follow specific instructions, feeding schedules, and engage in interactive play, walks, or cuddle time for their well-being. I'm adaptable, ensuring each pet's unique needs are met with love and attention.
“Our Cockapoo pup had a wonderful time with Jess and her family. She kept me up to date on Coco’s activities through the day with pictures and communication. Will definitely use Jess to board Coco in the future.”
“Brian was very great caregiver. Very responsive and flexible. This was first time I left my dog Micky with someone new. Brian took time to meet with me in advance and make sure the visit went smoothly. I knew Micky was in good hands when I left him.”
About: As dedicated pet owners, for the past two years, my partner, and I have cared for our two beloved cats, Sylvia, and Meatball, and our playful puppy, Saturn, a pitbull boxer mix who loves making new furry friends. We pride ourselves are being detail, oriented, and committed to ensuring that every pet in our care feels at home with constant updates and being always available to answer questions and offer constant reassurance. We are at adult only home with everything that you may need including bowls, toys, and a crate. We will follow all instructions to T and make sure that, your fur baby is in loving and capable hands. My partner and I are typically available on the weekends unless otherwise. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so if needed for a day or for any other services, including walking, I would be available. My partner and I like to stick to a routine for all of our pets And in the care of another fur baby we would ideally like to stick to the same routine that we implemented in our home. In terms of behavior, we are willing to help pets with basic commands, while, watching out for any unusual signs of the pets behavior and notifying the parent ahead of time just ensure that everyone is on the same page. When going outside for exercise, we will ensure that your dog is in a close space unless you stay otherwise just for safety and security.
“Wanda was very responsive and able to accomidate my dog at the last minute. She did a great job taking care of my pup for the day and I'd definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a good sitter.”
About: I have a strong speciality working with felines and canines. Throughout the years, having pets of my own and pet sitting, I gained hands-on experience providing safe, effective, feeding, bathing, cleaning, and enrichment (including exercise) to varying animals through positive reinforcement. Additionally, taking animal behavior courses over the year's I learned a strong understanding how to interpret and respond to different species behaviors, such as fear. I then translated this knowledge working with fearful and traumatized canines to build their trust over time and to create positive associations in my personal time. I currently have a part-time job and can ensure to make your schedule fit into mine. I'm always sure to communicate if something may come up during your booking, such as other gigs or obligations outside of work, that way there's total clarity on where and when I'll be in relation to your pet(s). I take the care of another's space very seriously, doing my best to leave things as I found them. When I’m caring for pets, whether it’s in my home or yours, my main goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I like to keep their routine as close to normal as possible — same walk times, meals, and plenty of play and cuddle time. In my home, I make sure there’s a comfy spot for naps, space to play, and lots of attention. When I’m at a client’s home, I treat it with respect and care. Every animal is different, so I take the time to get to know what makes each one comfortable and content.
About: Hi! I've been around animals my whole life, and caring for pets is truly second nature to me. I've owned and loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid, and that lifelong experience shows in how I care for every animal I meet. What really sets me apart is my background in pet care and dog training. I graduated from Norfolk County Agricultural High School, where I took many animal science courses. I took classes in canine behavior, pet shop management, and animal science. I learned how to handle, groom, and care for dogs of all breeds, through hands-on experiences. I bring patience, knowledge, and lots of love to every pet I care for. I am college student spending the rest of my summer from July 8 until August 22 at home. This means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m already helping my family take care of our own dog, so adding more pets to my routine fits in perfectly! I am available Monday through Friday and am very flexible throughout the day, so I can easily accommodate different schedules and needs. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I stay in tune with how they are feeling, making sure they’re well-fed, clean, healthy, and getting plenty of rest and outdoor time. At home, I provide a pet-friendly environment. I’m also lucky to live next to a reservation with trails, open fields, and ponds and streams perfect for dogs who love to explore nature. I enjoy taking pets on these little adventures to keep them active and mentally stimulated. When it comes to pet care, I always treat each animal as if they were my own.
“Natalie was very communicate and caring with my little dog. Everytime we reached out to her, she always responded on time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will rebook with her in the future.”
About: I have a 9 year old Shih Tzu, her name is Zola. She loves people and other animals. I am currently home more then expected and would love to help other working people with their pets. If your pet needs a certain food or specific routine, let me know and I am happy to help maintain the normal. When I first got my dog, it was so hard to leave her during the day when I went to work. She was so small, and I didn't want her to be lonely. I understand how hard it is to leave a fur child and want to help others be comfortable knowing they are being looked after during the day or overnight. I will love them like my own. I am currently working from home and have ability to 'schedule' accordingly to cover dog needs - walking or playing and to schedule time as needed to walk near by dogs as well. I do not have a fenced yard. I walk with a leash. I can 'fence' in a small area for free time in the yard. I also can let dogs out on the deck and use 'gates' to block stairs. I care for all pets the same as I do my own. I work remote and have a flexible schedule allowing me to play with and walk your pups at various times. And a lot of time for snuggles and petting I have a good size deck with fenced entrances for general relaxation outside. My yard is not fully fenced but a good size for small dog play
“Eric is very flexible and easy to communicate with. Beautiful home and yard for pups to play all day.I like that he does have over some other well behaved pups so that mine can socialize. Would trust him with my babies anytime. I get daily updates and photos which are greatly appreciated.”
About: 🐶Both Noah and I (Jadeth) grew up with dogs in the home from childhood to adulthood! We both have experience with various different breeds from chihuahua, pitbulls, australian shepherds, and huskies! Each of the dogs we cared for had different levels of energy and ages from puppy to senior. 💕I love the pure love and kindness that dogs show towards people! And it is a joy to get to cuddle and hang out with them! -Jadeth 💕My favorite thing about dogs is that no matter what, when you need them they’ll be there. -Noah ⭐️We both have experience with administering medications, managing special diets, and providing care for cats as well! We are both online college students with a ton of extra time to care for your furry friend! Drop-In Visits: We offer drop-in visits every day of the week! -We recommend 60 min visits for dogs that require walks longer than 20mins so there is still time for in-home play/care, or households with several pets (3 or more)! Dog Walking: We offer dog walking every day of the week! -This includes basic meal feedings and water bowl refills as well, but majority of the time will be spent outside! House Sitting: Noah offers house sittings every day of the week! -Please let us know if you would like 24/7 care at your home or if leaving the home for meals, errands, or a quick run home is appropriate with your pet's needs! Pet Boardings: We offer boardings every day of the week! -We prefer about a 2 weeks notice for pet boardings, due to the schedule adjustments they may bring! -We have 2 cats in the home that are typically friendly with other cats or low energy small-medium dogs! -If your dog or cat is not friendly with other cats, we do have a gate that divides up the house so both parties have their own space! Doggy Daycare: We offer doggy daycare every day of the week! -Please let us know if your dog prefers to be alone rather than with other dogs, so we can schedule accordingly! We care for your pets as if they are our own! We prioritize meeting their needs and wants, and making your fur baby feel safe and loved. We follow their food, medication, and potty break routines closely! We do not smoke our the home and have only pet-safe plants around the house! And we will send check-in photos and texts during our visits, boardings, sittings, and walks!
“Debbie is absolutely amazing! We booked with her on short notice for doggy daycare, and we are so grateful to have found her. She has a wonderful fenced outdoor area for the dogs to play in, and an equally pet-friendly home. Debbie followed my dog's feeding and medication schedule perfectly, and she was very flexible and understanding when we needed to shift our pick up and drop off times on the second day. She also sent pictures and updates and was awesome with communication during the stay so that we were able to rest assured our dog was doing well. Don't hesitate for a minute to book with Debbie - you will not be disappointed! :)”
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, and they have always been one of my major passions. From small animals, to dogs and cats, to chickens, livestock, and horses - I've seen it all! I spent some time as a animal science/pre-vet student before Covid, and worked for a horse breeder/trainer for 3 years where I coordinated daily care for our animals, as well as helped client's with training and lessons while taking a break from university. I have since graduated and been immersed in the world of financial services for the last few years, and work from home along with my father. We both enjoy walking, and live right on the Blue Hills Skyline trail, so can go for a quick loop or 9 mile hike out of our back door. We also have a gated portion of the yard off of the patio, as well as a large front grass field that are all welcome to be taken advantage of by our four-legged friends. We lost our family dog about 2 years ago and enjoy having a furry friend in the house, but are not ready for the heartbreak that eventually comes along with bringing another dog into our family. We would love to host your dog as a part of our family to enjoy our attention, care, and access to great outdoor amenities for a dog that likes to explore, sniff, or go on hikes. Also great for a dog that enjoys having a fenced area. I work from home every day of the week, so I don't have any requirements to be out of the house. I tend to wake up on the earlier side and enjoy going for a walk, as well as a walk around lunchtime and the evening. I am consistent with whatever routine your dog requires, and like to cater towards what makes them the happiest and most at home. Your dog will have nearly 24/7 attention, and I am very glad to provide! We have a number of options in our home depending on your comfortability with your dogs access to the home/garden. We have a fenced area off of the side of the house with an attached mudroom (if dogs prefer to sleep alone, this can be a good option), as well as a large front field and access to the Blue Hills hiking trails. The kitchen is gated, so we tend to spend time in this space with the dog to keep an eye on them. We have a large crate available and are happy to set up your dogs crate if needed. We are happy to allows the dogs on the living room couch, but can keep them off if you prefer them to keep their feet on the floor - we have a large variety of dog beds as well throughout the house. The dogs are welcome in the bed/bedroom depending on your preferences, just let me know where you would like them to stay. There are currently no animals in the home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dedham
Highly Recommend! Rudy goes to daycare with Minglu and Yulin and loves his Fridays with his friends, their two dogs. We know he is loved and taken care of when hes there. The fenced in yard is great for him to run around . We will be going away for a week in August so this is a great for him to get comfortable with being away from home. Again highly recommended!
We highly recommend Dan for your dog sitting needs. Our dog is anxious and reactive to dogs that are outside her social circle. He has experience with all types of dogs and asked good questions about her particular needs and sensitivities. He works from home and has a rear patio deck that is sufficiently secluded to enable our pup to enjoy outdoor time with Dan in good weather. He lives in a great neighborhood for dog-walking. Dan has a calming demeanor and welcomed our dog to acclimate to him and his home at whatever pace she chose. Good sitters advertise their ability to play ball, cuddle, or travel to dog parks, and Dan can do those things. But Dan also proved able to tailor his service to meet our dog’s unique sensitivities. He was also a good communicator (vis-a-vis logistical details) and shared pictures. We are glad our pup has found a new friend!
Julianna was a life saver with our last minute request to book our pup (Clare) with her for the day while we were down south visiting family. Her communication was top notch and Clare had such a good time playing with her dog and the other dog she was boarding. She sent us the cutest video and it was such a relief to know Clare was in such good hands. Would definitely book with Julianna again!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Dedham
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Dedham on Rover is $64.2 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Dedham commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 3,132 sitters in Dedham, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
